Sooke Fishing Report, Oct 12

Sooke's salmon fishing is quite good right now, with reports of big coho and nice sized winter springs.

The coho are reported as being caught in deeper water 300-500 foot depths, mostly fishing deep as well 120-150 feet, or even to as deep as 180. Most anglers are using hootchies and spoons.

The winter springs are in the usual spots, from Sooke Bluffs to the Trailer park, 140-160 deep right off the bottom. Reports of some 10 pound plus, which is big for this time of year.

It is also the last week of 2010 for halibut fishing -- there were a half dozen or more boats off Sooke trying for a flat fish. Here's Marty with a nice Sooke-caught halibut. That's something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.

Weather has been rainy at times, but mostly glassy calm and mild temperatures. Overall, probably nicer than summer, in terms of wind and fog....might just be the nicest time of year to fish in Sooke.
